David needs to tell us more about the test wall.   I remember hearing that 
in some way or other it was poorly constructed.   For example, were the 
bales really dense?   Was each course settled into place by having some sturdy 
people stomp along the wall?   Was the penetration really this deep, and if 
so, was it only at the spots where the rounded ends of two bales butt up 
against each other, i.e., the holes that are usually stuffed with straw to 
prevent thermal nose-bleeding?
